Chapter 1470

Author: Eleven Jewell
"When I mentioned a stable customer base, I meant that most of their clients are regulars, and many of them have connections to Darcie or the Saun family," said Vermont.

"If you want to profit in the world of jewelry and precious stones, you either cater to the high-end market, dealing with those willing to pay a premium price, or target the mass market. That's where you find products made from discarded materials, skillfully polished to mimic the real thing. They're affordable for the general public, allowing them to own a piece or two without breaking the bank. With high sales volume, you can still make a decent profit.

"The Velvet focuses on the high-end market, and Darcie's connections serve as her entry to that exclusive clientele. As for the mass market, Darcie thinks it might dilute the brand image, so she avoided it. They've already established a stable relationship in their high-end market. If you take over, all Darcie has to do is ask, and your clients will turn away and ru

    Keegan did not quite understand what Stella meant, but he caught on to her teasing tone. He grabbed a low stool to sit beside her and casually rolled up his sleeves. "Today marks your official return to the Saun family, so you're getting special treatment."With that, he gently submerged her feet into the water."Am I not getting this treatment anymore after this?" Stella asked."You'll get it upon our remarriage. The treatment you'll receive as Mrs. Kane will be higher than that of my girlfriend. Today's a special exception for you to enjoy in advance," Keegan explained."I don't remember getting special treatment when I was still married to you," Stella pointed out."Well, I was a useless husband back then. All I had were my looks. Now, I'm trying to be better by washing your feet!" Keegan chuckled.Stella was quiet. Considering the context, she could not argue with Keegan. He was an excellent flirt. He could always take a casual remark and weave it into something more, making

    As Wilfred, Edith, and Daryl's family prepared to depart, Stella took a leave from the set to accompany them to the airport. Amidst the farewells, Edith gently held Stella's hand and whispered, "Your grandpa and I are getting older, Stella. We aren't as robust as we used to be. Otherwise, we'd love to stay a bit longer. I can't believe we've only just reunited, and now we have to part again..."Tears welled up in Edith's eyes, and Stella's heart twinged. She comforted her and said, "Grandma, Uncle Daryl has gifted us a private jet. Once all the formalities are sorted out, I can fly over whenever you want to see me."Edith's spirits lifted. "You don't need to come too often. Once or twice a month will do. You work too hard. Remember to take good care of yourself.""Okay, Grandma.""Why didn't Keegan come?" Edith suddenly asked.Wilfred snorted. "He's probably feeling guilty!"Stella was taken aback. "He wanted to come, but I didn't let him. I was afraid you might feel uncomfortabl

    Darcie took on the role of the lady of the house despite Wenham's initial reluctance. She often cited reasons like being good friends with Freesia and not wanting to see Trevor suffer to make frequent visits to the Saun residence.As a widower and a single mother, rumors began to circulate over time about their relationship. It did not take long for these whispers to reach the ears of the Saun family elders."Grandma's health was deteriorating, and she was bedridden in her last few years. Darcie's own daughter could not bring herself to serve her in such close quarters, but Darcie could. She not only cared for her meticulously but also personally tested the alternative medicine prescribed by the doctor to ensure its safety before Grandma took it," said Trevor.Wenham's mother, Eleanor Albott, saw Darcie as a kind woman who knew how to manage a household. Thinking about her son, who was reluctant to remarry, and her poor motherless grandson, she felt reassured knowing a woman like Da

    The titles left Stella feeling a bit out of place. It also reminded her of Cordelia's butler, Baldwin. She could not help but wonder why everyone seemed to favor such formalities. Trevor seemed equally uncomfortable with these formalities. "Sandra, you can just call me by my name."Sandra nodded in agreement. "Of course, Mr. Saun."Trevor was speechless. He turned to Stella and decided to introduce them. "This is Sandra. She used to work as a caregiver and took care of Jaylene."Stella exchanged greetings with Sandra, and she warmly welcomed them inside. Wenham, unable to contain his excitement, had already left the living room. When he heard the sound of the engine at the door, he rushed to greet them.As Stella passed through the entryway, Wenham's voice reached her ears."Why did it take you so long to come home?"Trevor sighed, "As soon as Grandpa and Grandma entered the boarding gates, I brought Stella straight here. It's not like we flew a plane, Dad."Wenham was in high s

    Darcie froze when Stella agreed to the offer.Wenham, however, went from confusion to sheer delight. "Stella, y-you're open to coming back and staying here?"Stella looked at her father, her voice gentle. "Dad, we've been separated for over twenty years. Even though we've found each other, our time together has been so short. You don't know me well, and I don't know you that well either. The only connection we have is blood. I'm eager to know what kind of person my father is, and I look forward to spending time with you. If staying together can help fill in the gaps of those years, I'm willing to do it. I'm afraid of missing another opportunity. Once I'm married, the chance to be with you will be even rarer."Wenham's joy was palpable. "Okay. I'll accept that as long as you're willing. I was just worried you'd gotten used to life outside and wouldn't want to come back.""No matter how exciting life can be out there, it can't compare to the sense of security and happiness of living

    Stella listened to Wenham's enthusiastic description of the room and gradually found the place rather charming. Even if it was not exactly to her taste, it was filled with her father's love.Wenham drew open the curtains. "This room has excellent natural lighting," he said.Stella stood by the window and immediately spotted the balcony of the adjacent room. It was larger and had a wider view than hers.Jaylene noticed her gaze and said, "That's my room, the master bedroom. The balcony is much bigger. We can switch rooms if you like, Stella. But Dad arranged the layout of my room according to my preferences. I'm worried you wouldn't like it."Stella paused for a moment and asked, "Dad arranged it? Now I'm curious. Can I go take a look?"Jaylene smiled invitingly and said, "Of course."When they reached the room, Stella finally understood what Jaylene meant.The master bedroom was nearly half larger than the guest room. It had a bookshelf, a separate dressing room, and a balcony s

    "I like this one too! Dad, I feel like Jaylene and I are meant to be sisters. Our tastes are so similar!"Wenham replied happily, "Of course, we're a family."Jaylene's heart ached when she saw the affectionate interaction between Wenham and Stella.Not only did Jaylene spend a fortune on the decorations in her room, but she also had to use her connections to acquire some of them. She even had them specially packed with several layers of bubble wrap when they were being shipped back. It had taken her years to collect them.Yet, Stella had effortlessly taken away more than half of them!She pondered the phrase "our tastes are so similar" and suddenly recalled the words she had said to Stella about the Red Agate bracelet at her birthday party."We seem to have similar taste." She said to Stella back then.Stella kept repeating that line as if deliberately trying to provoke Jaylene.Stella did not hold herself back at all. She came empty-handed with Trevor, and when they left Jayl

    Stella smiled and said, "Darcie, you should have someone clean it up now. If the room is not cleaned, he won't be able to stay if he wants to. You can't only clean the room whenever he wants to stay, right? He's not a guest, yet there's no room available for him."Wenham had never thought much about it. Trevor had always been a willful and stubborn person from a young age. He did not like staying at home after growing up. Wenham had talked to him about it a few times but eventually stopped bothering him because he figured his adult son should be able to make his own choices.However, now that Stella brought it up again, he suddenly felt her words made a lot of sense.He had to at least give the little brat a room to stay no matter what. Besides, he would eventually bring his future wife back home. And if they only began cleaning the room when his daughter-in-law stayed in the house, it would make him look biased.So, he turned and said to Darcie, "Stella is right. Get someone to cl

    Keegan moved from initial resistance to reluctantly listening, and eventually to questioning."Why do these novels portray men as so stupid and brainless, yelling at the female lead as if they have intermittent explosive disorder?""Is the male lead sick? Forcing the female lead to donate a kidney, is he out of his mind?""How many years would they get for calling the police in their world?""Why is he so dumb? The supporting actress claims the female lead pushed her into the water and he believes it? Is checking surveillance footage illegal?""Stella, are you making fun of me?""I can't learn this. It all feels so neurotic. What does the female lead see in him?"Stella retorted, "Who cares if it's neurotic? Just mimic that stupidity, that's how these innocent women like men who protect them like that."Keegan was very reluctant, but his brain was more compliant than his body. Without needing to study deliberately, everything he heard stuck in his mind.So when Keegan mentione

    Keegan's expression darkened with anger. "You're being completely unreasonable!"Stella crossed her arms, wearing an expression that seemed challenging. "You let her take it. Let's see if I dare."Jaylene hadn't actually wanted those junk items in the first place; she was deliberately trying to stir up discord between them. Now that her goal was achieved, she put on a sympathetic look."Keegan, I don't want it anymore. Don't be angry. Your health is more important. Didn't the doctor say to keep your emotions stable?"Turning her head, she reproached Stella. "Stella, are you here to help Keegan recover his memory or just to provoke him?""Shut up, you brat! Do you even have a say here?"Acting under the guise of a drama, playing the role of someone lacking in manners, was incredibly satisfying.She’d wanted to curse this brat for a long time!Jaylene's lips twitched, but she held back, tearfully saying, "Stella, if you don't like me, I'll leave. There's no need to humiliate me l

    Jaylene understood the situation perfectly. Even though she didn't particularly like these cold, mechanical devices, she put on a pretense of surprise, saying, "Really, Keegan?"Keegan nodded. "Choose one you like.""Keegan!" Before Stella could finish her sentence, she couldn't hold back her sharp voice, "With your pile of junk that I can't even touch normally, she takes a look and now you want to give it to her? What's the meaning of this?!"Keegan frowned, apparently not comprehending her current anger at all. "Jaylene gave me a gift, and I'm giving her one in return. What's the problem?""What problem?" Stella's eyes started to redden. "I can't touch them, so why should she be able to? Have you forgotten, or do you have inappropriate feelings for her?"Keegan's expression darkened. "This makes no sense!"Jaylene secretly delighted in this, hypocritically trying to calm things down, "Forget it, Keegan. Since Stella minds so much, I don't want it anymore. You've strained your r

    The standoff lasted for over twenty minutes before Keegan grabbed a book and knocked the beetle off Jaylene's neck. The beetle fluttered twice and suddenly flew up, landing on Jaylene's face.Jaylene screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.As she collapsed, the bug flew off again."Jaylene?"Keegan called out to her.He looked up at Stella and said, "You go start the car, I'll carry her to the hospital."As he spoke, he signaled to Stella.She understood and coldly grunted, "So troublesome."Walking over to Jaylene, she squatted down beside her and slapped her face twice.Jaylene immediately opened her eyes and reached out to push her away. "What are you doing!"Stella was prepared and had already moved back before she could be pushed.She shook her tingling hand and innocently said, "Jaylene, you fainted because of the bug. I was just saving you. Don't believe me? Ask Keegan."Jaylene nearly ground her teeth. Did she think she hadn't heard? She was intentionally exposing h

    Her fingertips trembled with a mix of horror and excitement. Just as the teapot was about to slip from her grasp, Keegan suddenly said, "Jaylene, don't move."Jaylene froze, instinctively thinking Keegan had regained his memory. She had barely twitched when Keegan loudly stopped her again, "Don't move, absolutely don't move."Jaylene wanted to say something, but then felt an itching sensation on her neck, as if something was crawling slowly. Goosebumps erupted all over her body.By now, Stella had turned around and saw Jaylene standing stiffly with the teapot in hand. Her eyes quickly assessed the situation and then she noticed the beetle crawling on Jaylene's neck.It was an unknown species, not overly tentacled but as long as a little finger, its mouthparts slightly twitching, genuinely alarming in appearance.Stella murmured, "It's so big."Jaylene couldn't see what was on her neck, unsure if it would bite or if it was venomous. She stood frozen in place, her voice trembling,

    Seeing him, Stella even lowered her eyes and softly praised, "Mr. Kane, you acted very well."Keegan glared at her, his voice low and intense. "If you keep watching like this, Coco will cut ties with me tomorrow."Stella replied confidently, "No, she won't. After accepting the red envelope, she can tolerate you a little longer."Keegan asked sharply, "Did you teach her to ask for red envelopes like this?""Don't falsely accuse me; I didn't teach her.""You may not have taught her directly, but you set an example. Have you forgotten how you always make me buy things for you?"Stella was speechless. Whenever she wanted Keegan to buy her something, she would often say, "Gifts are only surprises when given voluntarily. If reminded, it shows they don’t like me that much."It had to be said, Coco had learned the essence of it.Stella also felt a bit awkward, thinking that in the future, she needed to avoid such flirtatious conversations between spouses in front of the children. They

    Could she figure all this out?Keegan frowned, casting a disappointed look at Coco. "Are you not listening to me now?"Coco raised her gaze defiantly and stated, "Aunt Stella taught me that if I don't want something someone gives me, I can say no. I don't want this hairpin.""Didn't she teach you that even if you don't like something, you should still say thank you?"Coco fell silent for a moment, then reluctantly said to Jaylene, "Thank you, Aunt Jaylene, but I don't want it."Jaylene hesitated with her hand extended, unsure whether to retract it or leave it there, managing a strained smile. "Then what do you like? Next time, I will get you something you do like."Coco asked, "Do you want me to do something for you?"Jaylene was taken aback. "What?"Coco replied seriously, "Aunt Stella says offering help without reason is either deceitful or thieving. Since you don't like me, why else would you give me something? You want me to do something for you, right?"Jaylene forced a s

    Leighton's incident did indeed revive their suspicions.Jaylene was gullible, but Darcie might see through this scheme. "Keegan, why didn't you go to work today?" Jaylene chose to ask directly at first.Keegan remained composed. "I've been busy with the press conference lately and haven't had much rest. Now that things have slowed down, I thought I'd take a break and relax."Jaylene spoke gently, "You should rest well. Since you came back, you've been busy, and you've been postponing Dr. Stone's follow-up appointments. Keegan, I'm really worried about your health. Since you're resting these days, I'll arrange for Dr. Stone to give you another check-up. Stella has been living here to assist your recovery for so long. We need the doctor to give a clear assessment of whether there's been any improvement. Otherwise, it's not good for Stella's reputation to stay here so long, unmarried and under one roof."Keegan nodded. "Okay, please arrange it. Thank you."His response was decisive,

    Stella had just descended the stairs when she heard that remark, causing her eyelids to twitch as she thought to herself, “Damn it! He really knows how to come up with excuses!”Upon hearing this, Jaylene's eyes briefly flashed with disdain, but she ultimately accepted the shoe covers Keegan handed her. As Keegan led Jaylene into the house, her eyes continued to scrutinize every corner.There were a couple of pillows on the sofa, couple mugs on the table, wedding photos of Keegan and Stella on the walls, and even headbands and hair ties scattered on the table. The house exuded an unmistakable feminine touch.Jaylene's expression darkened, but when Keegan turned to ask if she preferred tea or coffee, she adopted a gentle, harmless demeanor. "Tea would be perfect."Keegan invited her to take a seat and called for Maria to prepare tea. Jaylene spoke softly, "Keegan, I heard from Stella that you brew Dragon Well tea better than anyone else. Is there a special technique?"Stella paused
